Thank you so much for the replies! I very much agree that the "the Nunh gets all the women" mentality is a bad one. We certainly don't look at it that way. When we decided on miqo'te and the Wolf tribe it was because we both have a great respect for animals and wolves is one of our favorites. To me, the tribal mentality of the Seekers and Keepers reminded me a great deal of prides and packs and I have the feeling when we get around to defining our little tribe we might pull a bit from those ideals.Â
I'm glad to here this. I have played characters in the past that had parents that were no longer living, dying in some tragic way. I do realize the Calamity definitely sets us up for such, but I didn't want the focus to be on lost parents or some other tragedy. Besides, having living family ties in ones background makes for interesting rp later onÂ
As far as the subject of Nuhns, I believe part of the reason he picked a Nuhn character is he was under the assumption that only the Nuhn's were allowed to have any kind of involvement, romantically or otherwise, with the females of the tribe. I hope I wouldn't be too far out of line to say that it is possible for a Nuhn to become attracted to someone specific, but they would still have to continue their duties to the tribe. As far as Tia's go, is it possible for them to also find such attractions? From my reading of the above linked thread as well as others, am I right to understand that there might be feelings between Tia's and another female, just as long as there are no children that come of it? We wanted our characters to have some kind of connection, what that is yet we are still figuring out. Hopefully some of these questions will help us to come up with some kind of meaningful connection between the two.
On to the subject of adventurer and a nuhn, I very much agree with what all of you have said. It makes sense that the nuhn would need to stay with the tribe. I have seen that their are some nuhn rpers and I am curious how they handle such. Does the adventuring side not come into play in their rp or are these nuhns that have moved on from their tribe to an adventuring life? I would think that doing such would brand them an outcast or make them a tia as they have been defeated or replaced. Tia's certainly seem to have more freedom!Â
I will continue to read up on anything I can fine and I do thank you all for your responses so far! I look forward to our continued discussion.

But I've skimmed several dozen male Seeker pages whose histories mentioned having partaken of or witnessed a to-the-death challenge. So to me, it makes perfect sense if your character's father is still kicking around as a tia.
